Check out the new screencast presenting the Genode Live CD 10.11. For those of you who like to get a glimpse of the recently released Live CD but hesitate to download and boot the ISO image, the Genode developers have prepared a screencast on Youtube with a guided walk-through.

Of course! Right now, the Genode development is primarily geared to special-purpose applications where the low-complexity trusted computing base of a microkernel-based system is immediately beneficial. For example thin clients used in security-sensitive environments or point-of-sales devices. But with its current feature set, it could already be used as the underpinning of a limited OS in the line of Chrome OS.

Ultimately, however, the project strives towards general-purpose computing. For this reason, self-hosting Genode on Genode is one of the most important milestones for 2011.
